AA Thought for the Day

Self-Reliance
We could actually have earnest religious beliefs which remained barren because we were
still trying to play God ourselves. As long as we placed self-reliance first,
a genuine reliance upon a Higher Power was out of the question.
That basic ingredient of all humility, a desire to seek and do God's will, was missing.
- - Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, p. 72
Thought to Ponder
Humility is not thinking less of myself, but thinking of myself less.
